How to display weather using any weather website - java-me

I am supposed to develop an application in which I am supposed to display weather conditions. When I enter a city that time it should get connected to any weather site suppose weather.com, and display only the weather conditions like humidity, rainfall, temperature, etc that is all sorts of weather conditions. But it should not display the complete web-page.
We are supposed to work on SDK-3.0 - in which it shows us the model of mobiles and we have to code which will be implemented on that mobile model.
So how do I connect to internet? And later how will I display only the weather on the mobile of SDK, because internet always keep on changing its format?
I am completely new to J2ME+MIDlets, and this is my first application in j2me. I want to know the detailed procedure for how to do this.

You can use Yahoo Weather API.
Have in mind that Yahoo explicitly states that their API is for non-commercial use though.
To parse the RSS returned by the API I'd recommend an XML pull parser. You'll find more information on those here.

Is it possible to post Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking (measuring purchases) to Google analytic Ecommerce overview and to be show in the graph??
I tried to make it work in postman but it's not working, please advise
Yes, it is possible. Try to use Hit builder instead Postman. This tools allows you to construct and validate Measurement Protocol hits using the Measurement Protocol Validation Server.
UPdate:
It works, just took few hours to reflect on google analytics, remember to change your transaction ID each time you run the post request!

Stored Value Sets that are accessed throughout a Bixby Voice Experience

I am completely new to Bixby development so I apologize in advance if this is a newby question that doesn't make sense. I'm trying to understand the best way to store value sets returned from external APIs to use throughout Bixby Voice experiences. An example might be an API that gets all the menu items at a restaurant or an API that gets all the clothing catalog items from a store. When users interact with the data to search or transact I don't want to have to go back to the external API to get the value set again. For example: Find Vegan Menu options followed by Okay how about pescatarian options. Or: Find dress pants followed by okay how about dress shirts. I'd like to come back to a menu object in the first case or a catalog object in the second without having to re-load the value sets from the API.
In the sample code I've seen all of the value sets appear to be read in each time an action/endpoint/java call is made
There is no local storage in the current version of Bixby.
The easiest solution is to request through API calls. However, http.getUrl() itself is cached by default, and Bixby runs on Samsung server, so no actual API calls in practice when requesting same url in short sessions.
You can read more about http API options and how to disable cache feature by reading more here

Get Google Search Results Content

I want to get or buy google search results content (structured) from Google itself or any other source that can sell google data legally. I want all results about a specific keyword for the recent 6 months for example.
It will be a good turnaround if I can only get the page content as a raw text for this stage.
Automatic reading out / scraping of Google SERP is against Google ToS. From this point of view there is no one who sells such data legally - any seller violates Googles ToS.
Tere are many offers on markt, where you can get SERP data as JSON or full HTML through API access - just google for it.
The way every seller does SERP scraping is always the same - you can do it by your own. Run many proxies with IP addresses of countries, from where you need SERPs, and query Google with a kind of headless browser. Use captcha solving services to get data even if IP should be banned. Multithread your queries to get more data at once. Thats the whole magic.

How to lookup Spotify User metadata (playlists, currently playing, etc)

I only see Artist, Album, and Tracks lookups in the docs. I want to display what I'm currently listening to. Is there a way to do this using the API?
https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/web-api/lookup/
Spotify does not provide this at this time. You can either get it by turning on last.fm scrobbling or accessing facebook music data.
As Thomas said Spotify does not provide such a feature 'directly'.
But there are some ways to get it work.
You have to me some more sprcific what you want to do. Web/Desktop/App

If this is what you need just message me. It's a rly tiny application just for test purposes! Because I currently develop a overlay.

What sort of technologies were used to build NoHomophobes.com (real-time keyword tracker for Twitter)?

Do you think that they plugged directly into the Twitter API, or do they have some sort of backend which is what connects to the Twitter API directly instead? I didn't realize this kind of functionality was available to standard users.
Link: NoHomophobes.com
This site has a (short) piece about the technology used - it does seem like they're using the standard, public API:
"Using Twitter's API, tweets [...] were pulled, tracked and displayed
in real time
[...]
We couldn't simply pull every tweet ... A lot of research and testing
was conducted to determine which words and phrases to capture, as well
as what parameters the tweets had to follow in order to be funneled
onto the site"
Also, the site's own T&C's mention
This website contains a licensed real time display of Tweets
At a guess, they're effectively continually searching for certain terms in public tweets (as any Twitter client can do) and displaying the results.
Basically, the site uses the Twitter Streaming APIs which allow a persistent connection with Twitter. And as filtered tweets come through, it processes the data and delivers it to website users through web sockets via a 3rd party service called Pusher.
